I've had my bike for a little more than a month now, and I have spent a grip on accessories and gear.I MUST STOP!!HELP!! I've composed a list of what I can remember buying off hand below: Jardine exhaust 10,000 mile tune up Race ECM Reg. air filter K&N air filter Oil & Spark Plug change aside from tune up 1125R mirrors w/signals LED for Lic.plate LED rear signals High beam lens 2 Silverstar Bulbs Kfab catch can Flasher LED relay Second TPS reset 3rd set of spark plugs (Good Plugs) 3 plastic polishing waxes Tires valve stem caps Rivet removal kit Lic. Plate Skull bolts 2 Scorpion Helmets 700 series 1 Scorpion Jacket 1 Scorpion Pants 1 Leather Jacket 2 Pair of Harley boots Neck gator Kevlar gloves Thats all I can think of for now, I would add it up but I really dont want to. that crazy thing is that I still plan to get a few more things, Tires, Diamond sprocket, right air scoop, heat shield matting, points cover, and possible re powder coat wheels red...will this list ever end? I think I could need "BA" Buell's Anonymous, I love to look at my bike just as much as riding it..I love seeing other people on Buells riding past almost as much as I like to see myself on one....Like to give a shout out to the WIFE...THANKS for the new girlfriend..she rides real nice... |

Yeah, it's an addiction. If you're not careful you can end up in an alley giving hand jobs for bar end mirrors. The gear is a wise investment though. Protect yourself, protect the bike, then mod for looks and performance. I didn't see frame pucks or axle sliders on that list. |

I've spent plenty. The only thing that bugs me, is that some of my purchases haven't been totally satisfactory to me. Unfortunately, you don't always know how good something is going to be, till you spend your coin and live with the mod for a while. |

Looks very nice. Two suggestions, if I may. One is free. 1. Add some frame pucks. 2. subtract the fork reflectors.

Frame pucks on the way and Fork reflectors coming off. I spent some time last night Polishing the heel guards to get them to a blinding shine. Took many hours, but its done and they look sweet...just like chrome. The lic. plate relocation bracket I made out of the orig. bracket. Just some cutting and serious bending. The LED to hit the plate I got at JPCycles...they've got a grip of stuff to add to bikes. I put a new skull timing cover on also. I'll post more pics a little later. |

I really like the look of those mirrors. How well is the visibility in them compared to the stockers on the Firebolt? |
